Creflo Dollar, a televangelist who founded World Changers Church International, needs your help. His current private jet is getting old. The only solution is to replace that plane with a new one—a Gulfstream G650, to be precise, described by Bloomberg as “the holy grail of private jets.” Alas, the holy grails of anything don’t come cheap (other than the original holy grail, but let’s not get sidetracked here) and Pastor Dollar (his real name, conveniently) can’t afford the jet’s sixty-five million dollar price tag. That’s where we come in. Pastor Dollar is raising money, asking for us all to pitch in and give him a hand in affording this ministerial necessity. By his calculations, it will only take 200,000 people donating (“sowing,” to use his words) $300 each. Three hundred dollars sounds like a lot, but it’s a small price to pay for what certainly will be among the fanciest ministry tools in the sky. The Christian Post says Dollar needs “one of the most luxurious private jets made today in order to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” so there you have it. “Preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use a private jet,” to paraphrase St. Francis of Assisi. So give generously.
